St. Cloud State University is hosting an event Wednesday on the annual international day of commemoration in the memory of the victims of the Holocaust.

The Center for Holocaust and Genocide Education says the 70th anniversary of liberation of the Auschwitz Birkenau concentration camp is symbolically recognized as the end of the Holocaust. The event will feature the founding work of Emeriti professors Scott and Lynn Bryce in founding the Center at SCSU. Because of the death of Scott Bryce in October of 2014 and that Professor Lynn is residing out of the United States, the center will convey her remarks based on a phone conversation.

The event will take place at the Miller Center Auditorium from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. It is free and open to the public.
